Chapter 718: Chapter 555: Are You Even Worthy of Using Soone Against You?
Thus, amidst the chaotic and bustling scene at the Northern Great Camp, where brawls were about to break out and curses occasionally thrown, a voice sounded above their heads.
“Sigh… You say you’re having your fight, and that’s fine, but why go and curse soone to death?”
A helpless sigh, a voice tinged with mockery.
Gu Changsheng walked with asured steps, without a hint of sha for eavesdropping, striding confidently from behind the rocks, a clear displeasure written between his brows.
Damn it, who says the Phoenix Clan has been wiped out?
Aren’t I, Gu Changsheng, alive and well?
Isn’t my little at bun a person, who’s now joyfully bouncing around at the Xiangka Clan’s main camp?
This Xia Ruyan, why is she so disliked? Isn’t this plainly telling lies with eyes wide open, cursing others to death?
Zhou Mu looked at the bold and brash woman walking out and could only shake his head helplessly, following her lead.
This discordant voice suddenly plunged the Northern Great Camp into an eerie silence; the two opposing groups, who were monts away from a fierce clash, stiffly turned their heads to look towards the source of the voice…
A woman, a resplendent woman with features as exquisite as a painting!
A dot of cinnabar between her brows, a mark like a burning fla, seed to carry a scorching temperature, as if it was vividly alive!
It was commonly said that the Phoenix Clan produced beauties, and looking at her now, indeed it wasn’t without rit…
Xia Ruyan was dumbstruck as she watched the woman approaching gracefully, the shock in her eyes clear as day.
That fla mark between her brows, she recognized it!
From her childhood, her father would show her a piece of paper marked with this totem, telling her that it was the totem of the Phoenix Clan, that the Phoenix Clan had been benefactors to her Xia Family, and that even in death her lineage couldn’t repay…
When the Phoenix Clan fell, she was still in swaddling clothes. For over twenty years, she had heard of them but never t anyone from there; she never knew what the person she was to serve looked like!
Could it be like this? So dazzlingly beautiful, so resplendent, peerless in elegance…
“Gu Changsheng!”
Watching the woman approaching them and the proud purple-gold figure behind her, Huaheng Mantian clenched her teeth in resentnt, as her heart was instantly filled with hatred.
This woman! It was this woman who destroyed her Huaheng Clan!
The fall of Red Sun City was part of the plan; the main force of Huaheng Clan had already evacuated. Her grandmother had been too arrogant, and Gu Changsheng too insolent; who would have thought that after taking Red Sun City, Gu Changsheng would actually order a slaughter!
Thankfully, her grandmother realized that sothing was amiss and at the last mont managed to send her out at all costs!
Otherwise, the millennium foundation of the Huaheng Clan would have truly been obliterated!
“Hey, don’t be so serious, okay?” Gu Changsheng looked at Huaheng Mantian, smiling lightly as she spoke, “Huaheng Mantian, we et again. It’s been a few days, and you’re as unpleasant as ever, huh!”
“You!” Huaheng Mantian fud.
“? What about ? Is it so strange for to appear here?” Gu Changsheng asked quite innocently.
Upon hearing this, Huaheng Mantian nearly ground her silver teeth to pieces.
The atmosphere at the entrance of the Northern Great Camp beca weirdly tense due to Gu Changsheng’s sudden appearance, with uncertainty in the eyes that gazed at the mark on her forehead.
The totem of the fla of the Phoenix Clan was their symbol!
There were actually survivors from the Phoenix Clan!
They always say seeing is believing; now, here she was standing right in front of them!
Therefore, the mont they saw Gu Changsheng, all the rumors about the Phoenix Clan started to echo in the minds of the soldiers from both camps. The Phoenix Clan, which once had dominated the Southern Border for hundreds of years; their exploits were countless. Their intimidating legacy, even after more than twenty years, still deeply engraved in the hearts of the people…
The remnants of their glory were still present!
“Gu Changsheng! You’ve abandoned Red Sun City, and now you dare to show up here seeking death! Today, I will avenge my Huaheng Clan; I will take your dog’s life!” At this mont, Huaheng Mantian completely disregarded Xia Ruyan. Seeing Gu Changsheng, the mix of old grudges and fresh resentnt made her boil with hatred.
“Oh no, you’re scaring !” Gu Changsheng raised an eyebrow at these words, speaking with a roguish look, “I’m quite valuable, you know. If you scare to death, you can’t afford to compensate!”
Having said this, Gu Changsheng paused for a mont, tilted her head, and the murderous intent in her eyes towards Huaheng Mantian flashed away, “Originally, I was utterly bored and passing by to watch a good show of self-destruction, but I didn’t expect to hear you saying things you shouldn’t have said! Huaheng Mantian, it was my oversight that you escaped during the fall of Red Sun City. Don’t you appreciate being alive after regaining your life? Do you have to seek death here?”
With graceful steps and her long dress trailing, Gu Changsheng, ignoring the tens of thousands of soldiers behind Huaheng Mantian, lightly stepped in front of her and lifted Huaheng Mantian’s chin with a finger.
Huaheng Mantian had intended to struggle, but she suddenly discovered she couldn’t move!
At this mont, Huaheng Mantian’s eyes beca terror-stricken!
With Huaheng Mantian bound inside, Gu Changsheng reveled in his rascality, his fingers lifting her chin as he looked down on her with superiority in height, a wicked smile playing on his lips as he spoke, “Fine if you fight, but why speak ill of others behind their backs? Fine if you speak ill of others, but why let hear it myself? My son and I are living well, yet you dare curse us to death! Huaheng Mantian, has anyone ever told you, you truly excel at courting a fine death?”
“You… you!” Huaheng Mantian, her eyes full of panic, looked at the woman who intruded as if no one else existed, “You dare to approach my army alone seeking death, Gu Changsheng, you’re truly courting death!”
“I’m courting death? Haha…” Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng burst into laughter.
That unrestrained, bold laughter echoed through the skies of the Northern Great Camp at any ti, startling the birds into scattering and losing countless feathers.
Xia Ruyan looked at the exceedingly arrogant woman in front of her with a face full of doubt and confusion.
Is this the person her Xia Family is to swear fealty to? A descendant of the Phoenix Clan?
“You want dead? Huaheng Mantian, countless people have shared your sentint in the past!” Gu Changsheng looked disdainfully at the woman in front of her, and finally adopting a serious deanor, she spoke with a hint of pity, “Sadly, their graves are probably overgrown with grass by now! So, Huaheng Mantian, are you prepared to die?”
As she said this, Gu Changsheng withdrew her hand in distaste and also retracted the inner bindings, accepting a handkerchief passed to her by Zhou Mu. She gave him a breathtaking smile as if no one else was around, then with the handkerchief, she carefully wiped her hand.
Finally free again, Huaheng Mantian imdiately jumped back cautiously, keeping her distance from Gu Changsheng and stood at what she considered a safe distance.
This woman, she’s too dangerous!
Dangerous enough that one must handle her with care!
“Gu Changsheng, don’t tell you think that Xia Ruyan will truly be loyal to you?” Huaheng Mantian looked at Gu Changsheng hesitantly and said, “I’m telling you it’s impossible. The Xia Family rely flaunts loyalty to win people’s hearts! She will never willingly serve you!”
Facing Huaheng Mantian’s instigation, Gu Changsheng raised her eyebrows indifferently.
“Gu Changsheng? Fenghuang Changsheng?” Xia Ruyan looked at the woman not far away, frowning as she spoke, indeed without stooping.
At these words, Gu Changsheng’s body stiffened instantly, “Fenghuang Changsheng? To hell with Fenghuang Changsheng! I’ve never changed my na, nor my surna—it’s Gu Changsheng! Let’s get it clear, it’s Gu! Gu!”
She’d been cursed with that na for two whole lifetis, hadn’t she?
The damned Fenghuang Changsheng—it sounded so wrong it made all her hairs stand on end in protest!
Confronted with Gu Changsheng’s imdiate rejection, Xia Ruyan felt montarily lost and at a loss for how to react.
However, Gu Changsheng didn’t give her a chance to continue. Instead, she looked at Huaheng Mantian with a mocking expression, “What’re you implying? I’ll have you know, Huaheng Mantian, being stupid isn’t your fault, but a low IQ is a hard handicap, beyond your control. Why do you mistake your own foolishness for cleverness?”
“Do I look like soone who would seek my own destruction? Do I have the face of soone fated for a short life? Huaheng Mantian, listen up, in this world, there’s a phrase, ‘to have confidence without fear—do you understand?'”
Oh my god, to think she recklessly charged into the Northern Great Camp as if she was here for a scenic tour?
That’s far too presumptuous, isn’t it?
Does she, Gu Changsheng, look like soone who courts death? Everywhere she went, even if it didn’t result in wailing ghosts and howling wolves, at the very least, it ant ‘plucking feathers as the geese pass by’, right?
Of course, it’s always soone else’s feathers that get plucked!
“Gu Changsheng, don’t get cocky, do you think Xia Ruyan can keep you safe? I’m telling you, don’t dream about it, right now they’re nothing but trash! Crushing them is as simple as crushing ants!” Xia Ruyan was no fool. She instinctively believed that Xia Ruyan must have made contact with Gu Changsheng upon her appearance here.
But in reality, Xia Ruyan was more clueless than Huaheng Mantian!
She swore on her conscience, even though she knew her family should be loyal to soone from the Phoenix Clan, this was truly her first ti seeing a living mber of the Phoenix Clan… the very first ti in her life! Heaven and Earth as her witnesses!
“Rely on her for protection?” Gu Changsheng tilted her head towards Xia Ruyan who’d been singled out, her lips involuntarily curving into a sneer, “Huaheng Mantian, don’t associate with this reckless fool. If I relied on soone like her for protection, the grass on my grave would probably be high enough to weave into a mat!”
Xia Ruyan was taken aback upon hearing this, and the soldiers of the Northern Great Camp behind her were also widely gaping.
So, what was the aning of these words?
Xia Ruyan bit her lip. Was she being disdained?
“Haha… Gu Changsheng, so without Xia Ruyan and the Northern Great Camp, are you planning on using the few people behind you to battle my army?” Seeing this, Huaheng Mantian imdiately taunted without rcy.
Gu Changsheng’s party totaled just ten people!
Ten people against a hundred thousand! Wasn’t that just seeking death?
Gu Changsheng heard this and imdiately cocked her head to glance at her sides a couple of tis. Alright, there were indeed just a few people beside her… exactly enough to be counted on one’s ten fingers…
“What a joke! To deal with you, why would anyone need to lift a finger? You think you’re worth it?”
